Global Speed Sharpener - GSS-01

Designed for quick touch-ups and easy storage, the Global Speed Sharpener is the ideal maintenance tool for your knives. Its compact, all-stainless-steel body is incredibly lightweight and takes up minimal space in your kitchen drawer. This sharpener offers a fast, simple, and neat solution for keeping your blades in top condition without the complexity of traditional sharpening systems.

What's Included

  • 1 x Global Speed Sharpener (GSS-01)

Key Features

  • Minimalist & Compact: At just over 10cm long and weighing only 62g, its slim profile is designed for ultimate convenience and storage.
  • Quick & Effective: The pull-through design features two alumina ceramic wheels that quickly hone and restore the edge of your knife with just a few strokes.
  • Designed for Global Knives: While suitable for most double-edged stainless steel knives, it is specifically designed to maintain the precise edge angle of Global knives.

How to Use

  1. Hold the sharpener firmly on a flat, stable surface.
  2. Place the heel of your knife in the sharpening slot at a 90-degree angle to the sharpener.
  3. Pull the knife straight back towards you with light, consistent pressure. Do not saw back and forth.
  4. Repeat 7-8 times, or until your blade is sharp.
  5. Wash and dry your knife thoroughly after sharpening.

Important Notes

  • This sharpener is designed for double-bevel knives only.
  • It is not suitable for single-bevel, serrated, or ceramic knives.
  • This is a maintenance tool for keeping a sharp edge. It is not designed to restore a very dull or damaged blade.

Care Instructions

  • After use, gently tap the sharpener to remove any metal filings.
  • Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth if needed.
  • Do not rinse the ceramic sharpening wheels with water.

About Global

Global knives are a modern icon of Japanese design and precision. Made by Yoshikin in the Tsubame-Sanjo region of Japan, they are renowned for their seamless, all-stainless-steel construction, lightweight feel, and exceptional balance. Each knife is crafted from CROMOVA 18 stainless steel, a proprietary blend that is ice-tempered and hardened to hold a razor-sharp edge longer than other steels.

Use & Care
  • Knife care guide: Cleaning, sharpening and storing your Japanese knives.
  • Cutting board guide: Caring for your Japanese rubber cutting board.
  • Knives: Hand wash and dry immediately after use — never the dishwasher. It's the single biggest thing you can do for the blade and handle.
  • Sharpening: A whetstone keeps Japanese knives at their best — honing rods designed for Western knives can be too harsh for harder Japanese steel.
  • Storage: Store knives in a block, on a magnetic strip or with blade guards — loose in a drawer damages the edge.
Good to Know
  • Choosing a Hasegawa board: Which board suits your kitchen — our guide cuts through the confusion.
  • Gentle on blades: Japanese rubber boards are kind to knife edges — one reason chefs pair them with Japanese knives.
